A well car has a retractable guide assembly for changing the effective width of a container well of a railroad freight car. The guide assembly has a housing having a pair of spaced apart walls. The guide assembly includes a pair of walls with cams in the nature of a pair of aligned slots. The guide has a bar that follows the slots between an extended position and a retracted position. The well car also has a floor structure that includes several cross members for supporting containers carried in the well. Some of the cross members have a pair of container support bracket castings at either end, and a beam member rigidly mounted between the container support brackets to yield a rigid cross member. The container support castings are bolted to the side beams of the car. Stop blocks are mounted to the side beams of the car next to the cross members. The side beams have reinforcement members. One reinforcement member is abreast of the well bulkhead. Another reinforcement member extends from the side beam knee.
